We’re looking for someone to step into a Market Strategy and Planning Controller position for a global FMCG business which will sit as part of the Commercial Excellence team in Grocery Retail.  If you’re an individual who can draw on several skills across category management, commercial development and shopper/ trade marketing and interested in putting all your skills to use and be a part of a team whose vision is to be the true leader in their field, this is for YOU!

Based in the Home Counties, this FMCG giant offers flexible working and the opportunity to grow in a business which invests heavily in learning and development. You will find opportunity to progress your career as well as make your mark in a relatively new team which is headed by an inspirational leader who has big plans!

 

Acting as the lynch pin between Brand Management, Sales and Category Management, you will play an integral part in supporting the direction, strategic decision making and commercial planning across the branded portfolio and with market leading brands.

  • Work hand in hand with the Brand Management and Sales team to develop commercial strategy (channel, pricing, promo, shopper, trade marketing) by brand and customer

This is a broad role and encompasses all that is Market Strategy and Planning.  You may be operating in National Accounts, Category Management, Shopper or Trade Marketing and looking for a fresh challenge.  This will challenge you, this will see you influence key internal stakeholders and most importantly see you add a significant amount of value and in return you will be valued, rewarded and recognised as the business continues to grow.  Does this sound like you?

  • Experienced in commercial planning in developing the customer, channel and brand within FMCG
